Summer. One word, a million thoughts...

My favourite time of year is summer, when it’s never too late, or never to early to do ANYTHING. Summer is the gateway to endless possibilities. What are we going to do today Phineas? To me summer is very much like Phineas and Ferb, they’re always building something, and, guess what? It’s in the summer! Those summer days sat in the garden, hammering nails into wood, one minute it’s boat, the next a bench. Summer’s always a time to make something, or so we used to think. We then realised that we, as clever as we thought we were, couldn’t build anything. What started out as a great day building a “boat” in the garden, turned into the glumness of autumn, the glumness of what was to come. Those summer days had been ruined, and all by the sense of failure. In summer, failure just won’t do, that’s a winter thing, a merry tune is heard in the distance, the clouds move from in front of the sun, it’s the ice cream van. Suddenly, all of the glumness is burned away by the sun, the sun that brings happiness back into those summer days. The drips of the melting ice lolly run down the stick, into every nook and cranny it can find on the surface of your hand, stick them all up. Summer is here.

Summer is the time when schools, cease to exist. Summer is the time when rules, are abolished. Summer is like the ice in your coke, it just makes life that good bit better.

Summer is very likeable. It’s likeable because, although you’ve a life of grey, bleakness back at home, when you’re on holiday, none of that is apparent. “Our true intent is all for your delight” You only get that in summer. Butlins in summer is like ice cream in a cone, it just fits perfectly. I like summer for all of these reasons, the biggest because of the carefree attitude… I love it, love it, love it.

Summer is my favourite season, not for the joys of being off school, but for the long hot days, and the short nights! I hate sleep as it is, so that’s why I love summer.  Summer is the secret ingredient to a good life. Most happy memories are made in summer. It’s those memories that you treasure for ever. Those memories that make me love summer.

Summer is great because of the timing, you’ve had enough of school, geography teacher hammering the continents into your head, maths teacher moaning on about algebra… Algebra, the thing you’ll never use in later life. Pointless, petty, and VERY tedious. Summer couldn’t come at a more convenient time. You’ve done your GCSEs, and your free to go, much like the feeling of summer, free, forever… finally!

There’s nothing to hate about summer, that’s why I like it so much! Many songs have references to summer, and some describe my attitude towards summer like they came out of my head. The beach is a great part of summer, the sandy sandwiches, sand in your toes, your shoes and, quite frankly, it may as well be in house, because all that’s for sure is that after a long day on the beach, it’ll without a doubt be in your bath!

All of these reasons amount to why I love summer so much. Summer is my favourite time of the year because summer is just summer, it’s just right, you can’t fault it!
